Russell Sage Foundation-Programs and Initiatives Currently Accepting Letters of Inquiry

The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) was established by Mrs. Margaret Olivia Sage in 1907 for “the improvement of social and living conditions in the United States.” RSF now exclusively supports social science research in its core programs as a means of examining social issues and improving policies. Grants are available for data collection, data analysis, research assistance, and investigator time for conducting research and writing up results.

A detailed 4-page letter of inquiry must precede a full proposal. About 15% of investigators who submit LOIs are invited to submit proposals based on external reviews.
